“Tiny bolts, exhaust pipes, windscreens and tyres-whatever the
part, we have the storage solution”
The various shapes and sizes of automotive parts, from the
tiniest nuts to large fragile windscreens, make automotive storage
a special challenge. The local garage as well as the international
car manufacturer both have the challenge of storing everything
safely and efficiently while still having everything easily
accessible. The solution is a framework of uprights and shelves,
adaptable enough to contain the various widths, depths, and heights
of components – supplemented with a set of accessory parts such as
storage boxes, dividers and hooks, suited to every special
part.
Solutions for cost-effective automotive storage
Standardised components are assembled, with minimal nuts or
bolts, into a tailor-made solution – easy to install, durable while
in use and easy to adjust and readjust again. This customisation
also promotes cost-efficiency. Store more, store it right and store
it safe. Naturally this will have a positive effect on your
revenue.

The HI280 shelving system is particularly suited for the storage
of small parts such as spare parts in a car garage, a car
dealership or a smaller warehouse for component parts. Many car
parts stores are already using HI280 shelving. The basis of the
storage system is a range of shelves and beams made from high-grade
pre-galvanized steel. These can be assembled in countless ways.
To efficiently store automotive parts special solutions are
sometimes required, whether it’s for very small, bulky, odd shaped,
fragile, flammable, acidic products or products that are sensitive
to an electrostatic discharge.

The wide range and robustness of the HI280 system makes it
versatile and adaptable enough for your specific and changing
situations. The HI280 shelving range has a vast assortment of
highly developed accessories specifically for the automotive
sector.
These accessories enable a well-adapted storage solution with
high space utilisation, high accessibility and a good working
environment, to be created that suits the specific requirements of
the automotive industry.

In larger storage facilities, such as a central spare parts
warehouse, the shelving system can create a good complementarily
storage facility alongside a pallet racking system in order to
increase the storage density of the warehouse.
Incorporation of a carton flow system in the HI280 for picking
fast moving goods and using FIFO principles could further enhance
storage.
Mobile Shelving - Increased storage
By mounting the shelving on mobile bases, a compact storage
system is created. Mobile shelving can double the storage capacity
compared to traditional static shelving. Mobile HI280 is especially
efficient in situations where there is a wide range of small parts,
but where space is limited, or where space is required for other
activities. The initial investment is a very cost-effective
solution, compared to a building extension.
This solution can also help prevent theft of expensive parts, as
the mobile units can be locked closed and access given only through
an electronic code or key fob transponder.

Expand your space with hI280 Multi-tier
In situations where you need to expand your space, a multi-tier
system could be a better solution than an expensive extension of
the building. Whether you want to expand your show room in your car
dealership or increase the number of working stations in your
garage, by installing a HI280 multi-tier system, the full height
potential of the building could be utilised without expensive
handling equipment.
Compared to other storage solutions the multi-tier solution lets
you easily adapt your capacity to peak hours or peak seasons. In
many situations a multi-tier installation will also reduce the
walking distance for employees

compared to a regular single tier shelving system. With a large
range of products, common in the automotive industry, a multi-tier
system, with optimal product placement, will create an efficient
storage solution.
The clever design of HI280 shelving makes the multi-tier fully
compatible with the standard HI280 shelving and its special
automotive accessories. The HI280 multi-tier, with an interposed
mezzanine floor, is a construction built of two or more levels. To
fully support your working processes, pallet gates, stairs, special
floor surfaces, sprinklers or lighting can be incorporated into the
system.

Tyre Storage - maximum storage density
Optimised tyre storage is about obtaining the maximum amount of
tyres in the available space without affecting the quality of the
tyre. Standardised components are assembled into a tailor-made
solution – easy to install, durable in use, and easy to adjust and
readjust again.
Storing tyres in the standard HI280 or Longspan shelving
systems, is effective in small installations. Tyres with and
without wheel rims can be stored vertically, providing a high
storage density and freeing up floor space. These tyre racks – with
spans of up to 2 metres – are ideal as they reduce the number of
vertical uprights allowing the maximum number of tyres to be
stored. These are available in both the HI280 and Longspan
ranges.
HI280 shelving can be mounted on mobile bases, to provide the
optimal compact tyre storage system. Although the investment is
higher, it is often less expensive than the alternative of a
building extension. It can also create very secure storage as the
mobile units can be locked together and access given only through
an electronic code or key. For seasonal storage of tyres this might
be the ideal solution.
When you need to store more tyres in batches, a similar mobile
system can be created using pallet racking, where tyres are stored
in bulk in stillages or on pallets. Pallet rack storage utilises
the height of the available space as well as the width and
depth.

Storage Machines – for efficient storage of small parts and
tools
If you are in a situation where you are considering the
expansion of your parts warehouse, or where your static storage
solution needs to be updated, but space is limited, then vertical
storage machines might be the perfect answer. A storage machine can
save up to 70% of the space compared to traditional storage
systems.
Depending on your specific situation, a storage machine could be
the ideal space saving solution for storing your spare parts, in an
efficient high density system capable of handling all those
different and sometimes oddly shaped parts.
Utilising the height of your warehouse, up to 15m, but with a
small foot print, approx. 13m2, vertical storage machines offer
fast ergonomic access to components or tools while reducing picking
times and increasing pick accuracy.
An automated storage machine can be easily integrated into
different ERP systems via local or global networks, providing the
opportunity of total control worldwide. If you already have storage
machines, but are lacking ERP integration, we can upgrade your
system.
More information see: www.dexion.co.uk/auto-machines
Complete solution for your toolsToday, a service or repair of a
car or other vehicle requires a wide variety of unique tools, each
in different sizes, often oddly shaped and often expensive to
replace.
By installing a vertical storage machine, your method of
handling tools could be improved. Providing a solution where tools
can be stored in one central and easily accessed place, in an
organized manner. Security and availability are improved through
the transparency of an items location and so the process of
retrieval is speeded up. The freed up floor space can then be used
for additional work stations or other value contributing
activities.

Pallet rack storage is a strong adjustable storage solution,
allowing shelf loads of up to 5 tonnes and bay loading of up to 30
tonnes. Therefore it is most suited to large scale installations,
such as a central warehouse for the bulk storage of spare parts or
other car parts.
The Dexion P90 pallet racking system is available in heights up
to 30 metres and in a variety of depths and widths, making it
possible to utilise the full potential of the building. The rack
system can be assembled as single or double depth racks, while the
robust construction of the system allows the storage of very heavy
parts such as engine blocks and car batteries.

P90 pallet racking also has a wide range of accessories to
support the storage of automotive components that wouldn't
otherwise fit on a standard pallet. With accessories like vertical
dividers, oddly shaped products such as windscreens and exhaust
pipes can be stored in an ideal way. Steel shelves, wire mesh
shelving, pallet support bars and shelf dividers, can also make the
storage of small objects efficient.
For the storage of oils, chemicals or other hazardous liquids,
drip trays will eliminate the risk of damaging other stored goods
below, if there is a leakage.
A pallet racking system can also be turned into a suitable
solution for the picking of individual boxes or single parts. With
the addition of pull-out units, which allow objects to be retrieved
from within the pallet racking without using a forklift or pallet
truck. The pallet can be pulled out of the racking without forcing
the worker to enter the racking framework for picking. Carton flow
systems can also be incorporated into the pallet racking to further
support picking processes.
When more storage space is needed, the P90 system can easily be
mounted on automated mobile bases, called MOVO. This solution also
saves time by reducing the picking distances, and possibly avoiding
the need for an otherwise expensive building extension.

Combine the storage systems with bins
In the automotive industry there are often a large variety of
small parts that need to be stored in an efficient way. In order to
fully utilise the capacity of your storage system, it is vital to
have storage bins that fit perfectly within the system, thereby
increasing storage efficiency and density. This also contributes to
improved replenishment efficiency, improved storage organisation,
as well as making it easy for the worker to take parts to a work
station.
A complete range of bins, suitable for our shelving systems,
storage machines and other storage products is available. Adding
accessories such as dividers and special labels increases the
efficiency even further.
For products sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), such as
circuit boards, sensors or other electronic parts, we can supply a
special range of bins that eliminate such discharges.

referencesAuto Lindvang, DKAuto Lindvang, distributor for the
brands Volvo, Renault, Citroën and Landrover, was facing a merger
of two automotive companies and therefore needed extra capacity for
storage and handling of tyres. A mobile shelving system was
installed for tyres in the warehouse, along with a special truck
for handling tyres.
Koiviston Auto Oy, FIKoiviston Auto purchased several
Paternoster storage machines, when the company moved its logistic
functions to a newly built central warehouse in Lahti. The high
ceiling space in the buildings has been utilised by this solution,
this was the main reason for Koiviston Auto choosing these
machines. As a result there has been overall increase in storage
space.
Evo Bus, DETo optimise the world wide delivery of spare parts
for the bus manufacturer EvoBus, a store was designed with static
and mobile shelving for the handling of fast movers in their new
"dynamic centre“. The centre is now arranged for up to 8,000
customer picks per day and the layout has made it possible to
increase the picking speed significantly.
KG Knutsson AB, SEA company expansion due to increasing export
and new product groups, meant that KG Knutsson needed a new
central-store. A Combination of P90 pallet racking and HI280
shelving were chosen and now holds goods from, on average, 70
trucks that are coming in and out daily.
Svenska Bil i Norden AB, SELimited space made Svenska Bil
replace an old manual picking shelving system with a Tornado and
two Paternoster storage machines. This solution resulted in a space
saving of 450m², reducing the storage footprint from 600m² to
150m². In addition, a new, small warehouse was built to store 4,000
tyres on 18 runs of mobile HI280, each with between 3 and 5
levels.
